'Drugged, raped, impregnated,' Alawite women recount kidnappings in the new Syria | The Cradle
The Syrian government denies its supporters are abducting #Alawite women despite detailed reports from media and rights groups
Abductions of women and girls from #Syria’s Alawite minority are “more common, and more brutal,” than Syria’s extremist-led government has acknowledged, a New York Times (NYT)investigation published on 3 April has found.
In November, the #HTS << Syrian government >> led by former #ISIS commander Ahmad al-Sharaa, denied that Alawite women and girls are being abducted, claiming that in dozens and dozens of cases, they had run away from home to be with lovers.
However, Syrian activists have confirmed the details of nearly 100 Alawite girls who have been abducted, including many who were taken following the government’s massacre of at least 1,600 Alawite civilians in March 2025.

In blow to Syria cover-up, dissenting OPCW inspector wins case at international tribunal | Aaron Maté-website
The #OPCW has been ordered to pay damages to Dr. Brendan Whelan, a veteran inspector who challenged the manipulation of a chemical weapons probe in #Douma, #Syria. Whelan now tells his story.
[Note: When veteran inspector Dr. Brendan Whelan challenged the manipulation of a probe into an alleged April 2018 chemical weapons attack in the Syrian city of Douma, the leadership of the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) publicly disparaged and censured him. After a lengthy arbitration case, the OPCW has been ordered to reverse its decision and pay Dr. Whelan moral damages and legal costs. For the first time, Dr. Whelan tells the story of his years-long, Orwellian ordeal for justice. -Aaron Maté]

NE. #Syria : The Turkish government is flooding large parts of eastern Syria after opening its dams
Turkey’s decision to open its dams has caused widespread flooding across #Deir_alZor and #Raqqa, leading to a number of drowning deaths, the collapse of sections of old bridges, the destruction of wheat fields, and floodwaters pouring into homes.
Can this really be considered a “friendly” move by a government that claims to be an ally of the #STG? And why hasn’t the Turkish government sent emergency response teams to help civilians in Deir al-Zor and Raqqa, is the only thing #Turkey ever sends to Syria jihadis and military forces to attack #Kurdish areas?
Narratives once claimed that Turkey had threatened Hafez al-Assad with opening its dams. Could what’s happening today be Turkey’s way of “sending a message” over something the compliant puppet in #Damascus did that rubbed them the wrong way? Or is it simply a total disregard for Syrian lives?

Britain spent more than £28 billion in taxes to fund terrorists and human traffickers, — Telegraph
This refers to the period from 2015 to 2021. Officially, the funds were allocated for the fight against COVID-19 and humanitarian aid.
In reality, the money went to various criminal groups and structures, as well as radical Islamists.British grants were also used to finance #ISIS in #Syria.
Among the recipients of housing benefits and disability payments were human traffickers.
A report on this was prepared in 2023 at the request of British special services. The document was decided not to make public to avoid a major political scandal.
“Britain and the US funding jihadis in Syria is Russian propaganda.”
I like many of you knew exactly what was really going on.

Israel’s chemical spraying of farmland in Lebanon and Syria amounts to war crime, targets civilian survival | EuroMedHR Monitor
Beirut – The Israeli army’s spraying of chemical substances over vast agricultural areas in southern Lebanon and Syria is deeply alarming.
The deliberate targeting of civilian #farmland violates international humanitarian law, particularly the prohibition on attacking or destroying objects indispensable to civilian survival. Large-scale destruction of private property without specific military necessity amounts to a war crime and undermines #food security and basic livelihoods in the affected areas.

The War That Changed Me Forever | Kevork Almassian
In this raw and personal 39th birthday special, I’m stepping away from the geopolitical maps of Syriana Analysis to share the real story of my journey—from growing up in Aleppo to seeking asylum in Germany. This is a reflection on the war that changed me forever and the personal battles I’ve fought behind the scenes.
In this reflection, I cover:
Life in #Aleppo: Growing up off-grid and the simplicity of nature.
The Reality of War: How 14 years of conflict destroyed a nation and its intellectual class.
Refugee Camps in Germany: The truth about my experience and the backlash that followed.
The Turning Point: My 2020 hospital stay and how I reclaimed my physical and mental health.
Building a Career, Not a Job: Why I left my easy job in Berlin to focus on SA
The Future of the Channel: New shows with Tarik Cyril Amar and our path forward.
Thank you for 39 years of life lessons and for being the reason Syriana Analysis exists today

The Man Who Kidnapped Lindsey Snell Is Now Syria's Top Diplomat in America
In this investigation, Lindsey Snell revisits her 2016 kidnapping in Syria and examines the appointment of Mohamed Kanatry as Syria's chargé d'affaires in the United States. Drawing on her firsthand experience, archival interview footage, and publicly available information, she explores how someone she identifies from that period is now representing Syria in Washington.
The #documentary also examines the evolution of Jabhat al-Nusra into later organizations, the political rehabilitation of former armed opposition figures, media narratives surrounding Syria, and what these developments could mean for #US Syria relations.

MI6 in Damascus and Russia Agrees to train Al Qaeda Militia on the Coast - Under the former President Assad, Russia could negotiate from a position of strength. Since the fall of Damascus and the rise to power of foreign mercenaries (including Chechen terrorists) under the banner of a MI6-remodelled Al Qaeda, Russia negotiates from a position of vulnerability and will continue to do so until perhaps they no longer have a presence in the region.

Reminder !
A 2023 report from the Costs of War Project at Brown University estimated that 4.5 million people have died as a consequence of the US wars since the 9/11 attacks.
The US military carried out attacks in #Afghanistan, #Pakistan, #Iraq, #Syria, #Libya, #Somalia, and #Yemen.
Of the 4.5 million deaths, roughly 900,000 were killed by direct violence. Roughly 3.6 million resulted from “indirect” deaths caused by the aftereffects of the wars.
In 2015, the Nobel Prize-winning Physicians for Social Responsibility estimated that more than one million people had been killed both directly and indirectly in the wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan.

🇬🇷🇹🇷 Who exactly is Israel to “authorize” Greece to do anything?
A popular account calling itself “Israel Gov News” has declared that Israel has “authorized” Greece to extend its territorial waters from 6 to 12 nautical miles and promised to “completely destroy” anyone who attacks Greece.
Greece requires no authorization from Israel to determine its territorial waters.
But the rhetoric comes amid a very real and rapidly expanding Israeli-Greek military relationship. Days ago, Greece signed a €3 billion agreement for an Israeli-built Achilles Shield air-defense network, as tensions with Turkey over the Aegean and Eastern #Mediterranean continue.
Israel and #Turkey are themselves increasingly at odds across the region, particularly over #Syria.
Greece should be extremely wary of allowing itself to become another front in somebody else’s confrontation.

Guantanamo, Abu Ghraib | Legacies of 9/11
Moazzam Begg was seized in Islamabad in February 2002 and held at #Kandahar, #Bagram and #Guantanamo for nearly three years. He was released in January 2005 without ever being charged.
In 2014 he was charged again, over travel to #Syria. Those charges collapsed when it emerged MI5 had known of and consented to his journey. In August 2025 he was arrested in Parliament Square for holding a placard, one of more than 500 detained that day under the #UKTerrorismAct.
Now outreach director at #CAGE International, he joins Middle East Eye to examine what became of the cases that justified this era's laws.
Hamid Hayat, convicted in 2006 on the word of a paid informant, walked free in 2019. Dr Ali al-Timimi, sentenced to life in 2005 for a speech, was fully acquitted in March 2026 on free speech grounds.
Guantanamo is still open. Fifteen men remain. The trial of the man accused of planning 9/11 is now listed for 2028.

Church bombing in occupied Syria amid growing internal unrest:
Another church has been bombed inside occupied Syria, a familiar pattern whenever the rebranded terrorist leadership faces mounting internal chaos.
The rebranded terrorist #Julani has repeatedly used security incidents and staged narratives to project an image of control and reclaim lost legitimacy across the Syrian territories under his rule. As public anger grows, sudden explosions and “terrorist incidents” increasingly coincide with moments of political and economic crisis.
Today, protests erupted across Syria after the so-called Syrian government decided to raise fuel prices, triggering widespread demonstrations and road closures as anger over deteriorating living conditions intensified.
Major roads blocked during the protests included:
• Aleppo–Damascus international highway at Maarrat al-Numan.
• Idlib–Damascus highway.
• Azaz–Aleppo highway.
• Tal Tamr M4 international highway.
• Deir ez-Zor–Aleppo highway.
• Deir ez-Zor–Hasakah highway.
The protests expanded into new cities, while regime forces reportedly opened fire on demonstrators in an attempt to suppress the growing unrest.
Amid this escalating internal crisis, a sudden explosion struck a church in Hama.
An explosive device targeted a church in the Al-Madina neighborhood of Hama city, leaving multiple people injured.
Many believe the timing was not coincidental. The bombing is an attempt by the Al-Qaeda-led so-called Syrian government to divert attention from the rapidly expanding protests, create a new security narrative, and slow the momentum of the nationwide demonstrations against its rule.

Lebanese newspaper "Al-Akhbar":
Information regarding the sending of young men from Tripoli (#Libya)to #Syria for military training, without informing them about the nature of the missions they would be assigned.
The "Al-Amshat" and "Al-Hamzat" factions sent members from their ranks to fight alongside #Saudi forces against "#AnsarAllah" [#YAF] in #Yemen in exchange for high monthly salaries.
Estimates suggest that around two thousand Syrian fighters are likely to be transferred to Yemen via #Turkey and then Saudi Arabia.
(note : Same playbook as in the Syrian War whereas the estimates were around 50.000 at the very initial stages of the war)
Information indicates Turkish support for the process of transferring Syrian fighters to Yemen.
The information provided by the newspaper regarding recruitment and transportation operations did not include, in the presented text, any official confirmation from the relevant authorities.
